AMElUCxlN DIRECTORY. 



DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, 

Was ceded (o the United States in 1790, by the 
States of Maryland and Virginia, for the seat of the 
National Government. 

This District contains a tract of land ten miles 
square, lying on both sides of the Potomac river, 
about one hundred and twenty miles from its mouth ; 
and is divided into two Counties, viz: Washington 
and Alexandria. It is governed by the laws of the 
former States, but Congress is invested with power 
to administer such laws as the public good sh^* 
from time to time require. 



WASHINGTON CITY, 

Is situated on the Maryland side of the Potomac, 
on a point of land formed by the confluence of the 
east branch wiih the main river, on a high plea- 
sant plain, with a sufficient proportion of risings to 
contribute to health, beauty and convenience. 

The Capitol stands on a beautiful eminence, se- 
venty-eight feet above the level of the tide. The 
situation not only commands a handsome view of 
thij City, but an extensive prospect of ^le adjacent

country. The first session of Congress that was 
held in this Capitol commenced in Dec. 1800. — 
This building was destroyed by the English in the 
late war, but has since been rebuilt in a superior 
style. 

The President's House is situated on rising 
ground, one mile from the Capitol, built of hand- 
some freestone on an extensive plan, being 170 by 
85 feet, possessing a delightful view of the Capitol, 
River and compact part of the City. 

This City was laid out on a grand and extensive 
scale, having a large number of streets running 
due east and west, north and south ; the former 
extending from Rock creek to the East branch, — 
about four and a half miles ; and the latter from 
the Potomac, about two and a half. In addition 
to these, there are Avenues in various directions, 
from 130 to 160 feet in width, which form spa- 
cious squares where they intersect other streets. 
Fifteen of these avenues derive their names from 
the fifteen States previous to the admission of Ten- 
nessee ; seven of these lead from the Capitol. — 
The side walks of the Pennsylvania avenue are 
paved with brick, and from the Capitol *j the com- 
pact part of the City is pleasantly ornamented with 
shady trees. 

This delightful City contains between 900 and 
1000 houses, many of which are built in a superior 
style. Lat. 38 deg. 45 min N.—- Long. 77 deg. 15

BALTIMORE, 

The Capital of Maryland, is advantag-eoiialy situated 
on the Patapsco river or bay. This place is celebrated 
for its flour Mills, and the flour manufactured here is not 
excelled by any in the United States. This city was in- 
corporated 1794, and since th?t time has made rapid 
strides in both, foreign and inland trade. It is regularly 
laid out, and the buildings are generally built of brick, 
which gives it a look of neatness, that few other cities 
cannot boast of. <*

CITY OF BOSTON, 

The seat of Government for the State of Massachusetts, 
is situated in lat. 42. 23. 15, N. long. 70. 52. 42. W. This 
place was formerly a town, and governed by nine heads^ 
(Selectmen,) but the inhabitants thinking that City sound- 
ed much better than the plain and simple name o{ lowrij 
were induced to petition to the Legislature to grant them 
a charter to that effect : And that body after considering 
the subject, decided, that as "-Boston folk are full o/ivo- 
TioKS," thej shall have their petition granted, which was 
accordingly done, and t^ie charter approved by the Gov- 
ernor in February, 1822. 

This City is now governed by a Mayor, eight Alder- 
men, and forty-eight Common Councilmen, elected annu- 
ally by the people. 

The streets of this City are laid out very irregularly, 
having been, as is supposed, in a hurry to build, and not 
thinking that the groAvth would iiave been so rapid. The 
ancient buildings, however, in the principal parts of the 
City, have been removed within 20 years past, and new 
edifices elected, that do honour to the euterpiise of both 
owners and mechanics. This City contained in 1820,43298 
inhabitants, and has 32 places of religious worship, among 
which is a Roman Catholic Church, which has a Nunaer 
ry attached to it.
